Cerimedo hearing suspended in Santa Cruz due to victim's absence from embassy
The hearing for the termination of preventive detention of former adviser Fernando Cerimedo was suspended after Nadia Beller, who is sheltering at the Mexican Embassy, failed to connect.
Cerimedo fails to advance in his freedom request following Beller's absence
The hearing to evaluate the termination of preventive detention of former presidential adviser Fernando Cerimedo was suspended, reports El Deber, because the victim Nadia Beller did not appear. Beller is currently at the Mexican Embassy, where she requested asylum.
The precautionary judge in Santa Cruz, Wilson Espada, enabled the session virtually for Cerimedo, who is detained at the Chonchocoro prison in La Paz. Prosecutors and defence lawyers were present in person at the Palace of Justice in Santa Cruz.
The defendant charged with attempted femicide connected to the hearing along with his defence team. However, the magistrate waited in vain for Nadia Beller to join remotely, so the proceeding was postponed to Wednesday of the following week.
